Persian Voices: Weak-Minded and Immoral

I offer this letter with the appeal of Islam’s nation to the great leader who has taken the lead of the nation in his hands.

You are a successor of the lord of time, …and God gave you control of the nation… and the task of dispelling doubts from the hearts of the people.

…God gave you the task of protecting Islam and the Islamic nation. This task is on your shoulders in so far as you may become a martyr in this way. All of the muslim nations rich or poor, from city or desert, low or high level believe you and kneel in-front of your magnitude.

…The king is weak-minded and immoral. He can’t control the country, and he gives power to an evil man who insults prophets… He insults Mohammad’s ancestors, and acts cruel with preachers. He came back from European countries, and lost his prudency. He became hard-mouthed, drank alcohol, and made friends with non-Muslims and became an enemy of good people.

He has done so many things against Muslim rights and to enemies of the country he has sold parts such as:

1- Mines and all roads from mines to important cities in the country.

2- Carvan-Saras which are around roads (Shuseh) and farms and gardens around these roads.

3- Karoun River and motels around this river and all lands which are related to this river.

4- Road from Tehran to Ahvaz and all building, motels, gardens and farms around this road.

5- Tobacco and every thing is necessary for this product include : house of protectors, transit, sellers and everything related to this item sold.

6- Collecting grapes for making wine and all equipment of making this in the whole country.

7- Soap, candles, sugar, and factories make these items.

8- Banks: Banking is a way to give the control of society to the enemy and make us servants of non-muslins.

This betrayer and foolish king says they are temporary contracts and won’t be longer than 100 years.

…Mujtahid Ali Akbar was in Basreh and asked me to write a letter for a leader of Islam, and explain about these corruptions. I accepted his request, and I wrote this letter and I know God with your hand will solve our problems.
